no surprise to me and smart to do it earlier then the last time.

[seaturtle43 in hostile forum]

I hate it when the wait til morning when they know its gonna have to happen. Glad they are doing it earlier.

Rocket,just a friendly suggestion, maybe change your subject title to cancellations to encompass them all.

The -14 degree weather we have this morning, must not be as bad as the -9 degree weather of last week. Now that snow days are at a premium, schools do not want to call attendance
off for the day. The teachers that run the school must have b*tched and saw the days off may have to be made up and cut into their summer vacation.

Please, also..add the day of the week and date.

[helencrump]

Cityslicker, if you were paying any attention at all, you would've noted that last week there was wind chill temps -30 to -40. Today, there Wasn't. Not that you didn't realize that. You're just a mean spirited old fart.

[seaturtle43 in hostile forum]

Wind makes a huge difference. Was cold but not unbearable though it did kind of take my breath away when I was cleaning the car off to take my daughter to school. Kind of a sluggish dive too. Way to cold for her to walk that far but with windmills we had before it's dangerous to even walk a block or two. Btw the bank said -8 shortly before 7:30. Don't know how accurate. I hadn't checked weather sites before then

As far as I'm concerned this new wind chill reading we get is a good way to add drama to the forcast...

[helencrump]

Yes, just as much drama as the 2 people that died this year.

That's what the warnings are for. To avoid those incidents. Have a bus break down during an episode of dangerous weather, and a bus load of kids suffer frost bite. That. Would. Be. Drama.

[cityslicker]

helen, thank you for compliment and explanation about a meteorological event, such as something to do with wind and temperature. Maybe you could coin a new phrase, "wind chill."

[helencrump]

Btw, wind chill readings aren't new, either. I think you're younger than me, and they had wind chill warnings when I was in school. In reply to jimb

I've worked outside in the weather my whole life...We've had worse winters ...
Abd I don't mind the wind chill reading but SOME forcasts totally forget the actual temperature.

[helencrump]

Jimb I believe each of those days that school was cancelled were record breaking temps.

[OutlawwithaSnipeSniper]

Not even close to record breakers, but the call was correct. If you lived outside of the city limits you would have refused to let your kids board a bus, IF it could have gotten down your road.

They can say all they want to about wind chills, but when the roads are impassable, school needs to be closed.

This AM the roads were clear but snow packed....

Wednesday morning may be a horse of a different color.

nevermind i just read the date on this
